Two more senior officials of Ethiopian intelligence agency arrested

Two senior officials of Ethiopian intelligence agency Ato Measho Kidane and Hadush Kassa are arrested. Recently Ethiopia’s government has been arresting senior officials from its security services and one of the country’s most powerful state-owned enterprises in a wide-ranging attack on alleged corruption and human rights violations. Ato Measho Kidane and Ato Hadush Kassa are top former National Information and Security Services offices, the state media Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation reported today. The source, which cited the Federal Attorney General Office, did not mention the circumstances under which they were detained or where they were detained. However, it is mentioned that they were arrested in connection with blatant human rights violations. It's remembered on November 14, 2018 Ethiopia arrested former deputy spy chief, Yared Zerihun, as he was allegedly fleeing to Kenya.
